Espresso machines for the home and office have gained in popularity over the last 20 years. Like the toaster oven replacing the toaster, espresso machines are quickly replacing coffee makers.

Maybe you are in the mood for a Mocha Cappuccino? Hot, smooth espresso combined with rich chocolate and steamed milk, topped with luscious froth and chocolate drizzles? Sound delicious?

Or are you like me? Tired of dragging yourself out of bed and to the local coffee franchise to buy your morning fix. And what about the price? And then it hit me. I could make my morning cappuccino and after dinner espresso at home. And so can you! All we need are our own espresso machines!

Espresso makers have come a long way since the '80s. Gone are the days of big hair and single function steam Espresso makers. Today's units can be automatic or super automatic. They can handle everything from grinding to built-in milk frothing.

But don't worry if you know nothing about Espresso machines or making fancy espresso drinks. This site can help.

Or maybe you have bigger dreams. Like being a barista (an expert at making espresso based coffee drinks) for your own trendy coffee shop. Check out the info on commercial epresso machines. Or maybe an Espresso kiosk.

Have fun touring the site! The information here is easy reading. Unlike other sites which tend to be too technical.
